    Cat interrupts live soccer match (Video)

    In this video, an either brazen or oblivious cat walks out onto the field of a live Liverpool-Tottenham English Premier League soccer match.

    The crowd cheers in delight and even the coaches can't help laughing as the cat scurries across the field, stopping about 20 seconds into the video to take a brief rest next to Tottenham goalie Brad Friedel.

    Live soccer matches are no stranger to overly enthusiastic fans taking to the field. Though as the announcer notes, "I don't think that cat is going to handcuff himself to the goalpost, as we saw recently."

    After about half a minute on the field, the cat then trots off "of its own volition" before being gently scooped up over the field barrier by part of the stadium's security team.

    Back in December, a fox was spotted running onto the field during a local Dallas high-school football game. You can watch video of that encounter here.

      The cat was obviously a team player! He, or she, was running with the best! Go kitty power!

      "brazen or oblivious" - you never really know with a cat, do you?

      Lets see , where do I start. The camera work sucked as usual, half the video was taken up by a bunch of clowns gabbing, and then some very unfunny tweets by twits taking up the video picture, sooo lame.

      Of course it was a local Dallas-area game. All games are local to the field on which they're played.

      I usually complain. This time, praise for the guy talking for saying everything correctly, ie: "Spurs", "pitch", "keeper" (not 'goalie'!), "Kuyt" (impressive!). Especially impressive, given the level of idiocy usually associated with network TV, especially mornings.

      Wait, I found something to complain about-- I watched a 15-second ad before the clip-- fair enough, but when I clicked "replay" to watch it again, there's a 30-second ad, same again thing to watch it a 3rd time. I am outraged at Yahoo for this garbage.

      I love cats, have one, but that was a lot of hype for nothing! I expected a cute video.

      And to think it took just a little cat to make a sport more mind numbingly boring than basketball almost watchable.

      A cat interrupts a LIVE soccer match,...yawn,, it would have been newsworthy if someone had photoshopped the cat into a recorded match. otherwise just a waste of time. PS, as already mentioned LOCAL c'mon have a little professionalism

        How about you just NOT click on these articles? How much do you want from a story about a cat running on a soccer field..seriously.
      • Kisshere 3 mths ago
        @ Laura If you don't like the fact that people post comments on lame articles like this one, why don't you not read the comments
    • BlabbyBob  •  Reno, Nevada  •  3 mths ago
